Both front and back should have the same lever pull, assuming similar

did that much get in there in the first place? That doesn't sound
healthy.

In a well-designed brake system air tends to bubble up towards the
handles. Maybe ride around a little, get the brakes good and warm,
and bleed again. I always vent at the top when bleeding my MTB
brakes. Only very little air comes out, if any. The brakes always
feel firm but I do it as a preventative maintenance to prevent a
surpsise brake fade. I have seen that happen with a rider in front of
me on a long downhill. His front faded but since he was a good dirt
bike rider he saved the situation with a nice sideways slide,
stopping in a massive plume of dust. And some expletives.

What is a "Fire Pit"?

Primitive man was a pyromaniac.  Whenever the necessary combustibles
and appropriate weather were available, primitive man would start and
tend a fire.  Most sources claim that the fire was mostly to keep man
warm during various ice ages.  However, I believe the man was
hypnotized by the flickering flame.

At some point in the distance past, man set fire to his dinner and
thus invented cooking.  Even though gas, electric, microwave and hot
air ovens have long ago replaced the an open fire for cooking, both
cooking and pyromania are still with us today as demonstrated by
rapidly increasing fire pit sales and wildfire statistics.

  Interesting... Both of my wives were Orientals and grew up cooking
over something that would, I guess, be called a "fire pit" in the U.S.
and after we married I, with giving it much thought, bought the usual
"kitchen" devices, Fridge, gas stove, etc., and both wives thought the
gas stove was an amazing invention.  In fact both wives viewed the
Fridges with some skepticism - You want to keep That Much beer cold --
as both felt that a "proper wife" would go to the market early each
morning to be sure that THEIR husband got only fresh food to eat.
 

I cook over fire quite often. Yesterday it was a Manzanita wood fire and I grilled salmon over it. You can't get that taste with a gas appliance or electric. Same with a lot of meat. And pizza, And bread. And ...
Our house has a cooking alcove downstairs for indoor open flame cooking but I like doing it outside regardless of the weather. Beer is also made by yours truly right here at the house, haven't bought any commercial beer in years.
